Read excerpt
Claudia Tavani is a Sardinian travel writer and the founder of Strictly Sardinia, a website dedicated to her home.

Lisa Pittman is a certified travel coach who has been to more countries than most people can name. She tells our Travel Editor Alice Murphy about a lesser-visited Caribbean island that everyone should go to. Travelling is a huge part of who I am. So far, I have been to 114 countries, all 50 US States, and all 7 continents, as well as 17 Caribbean islands. When I am asked for my favourite, it’s always a hard choice between Puerto Rico and St Martin, but I usually go with the latter for several re
